”To be commercially sensible” - Kate Rafton on approaches to family law

I interview Kate Rafton, who founded Raftons Family Lawyers about:

• What is different about Raftons and their approach
• Taking a commercial approach
• encouraging settlement
• Initial conferences
• Advice regarding costs
• Communication with clients
• 'Process driven' ways of doing family law and how this can lead to not being able to see the wood for the trees.
• Having a proportionate response to the matter and issues in a matter.
• Arbitration.
• Billing in family law, issues around incentives for efficiency in billing.
• Mediation and issues surrounding delay in government funded centres offering mediation.
• Different parenting styles.
